Greek Taverna

Not really Greek food - and rather pricey. More middle eastern food really.

Having been to Greece many times, I was looking forward to sampling some authentic Greek food in Summertown. Sadly, lunch at the taverna was a disappointing experience. We were the only people in the restaurant. The menu looked authentic enough, but the food when it arrived was anything but - more Middle Eastern in taste and texture. Portions were on the small side, and therefore the meal was not such good value.

I went there twice in the last two weeks. Good, fresh food and very friendly service. The prices are reasonable. I can definitely recommend!

Good Old Greek Taverna. We have been going for a couple of years now (I'm 38 with two kids). It's a funny place because it rarely looks busy unless it's a Friday or Saturday night. Don't be put off though, the food is simple but great. they make their own homous and other dips and the kebabs are great - lovely big tender chunks of lamb and chicken. Get him to stick on some Greek music and you're away! I think the place could possibly do with a facelift, but it doesn't matter, the food's been consistently good since I've been going and it's a relaxed place to eat and drink just like the Mediterraneans do so well. I would recommend.

This is such an authentic restaurant! I really felt as if I were back in Greece. The halloumi was incredible- perfectly grilled and seasoned. The baked butter beans were just mediocre, and the dolmas are better across the street, but the pita is yummy and the Poseidon seafood skewers are great. I will admit that maybe the homous and melitzanasalata were kinda sketchy. In general, though, I love the atmosphere and I think that the service is fine.

The food is good, plentiful, well-priced and served quickly. Between £7 and £10 on average for a main course. The service is very friendly and the staff are welcoming. The place is a little dark and can feel a bit cold if there aren't many people in there, but they have just moved the bar from the front to the back of the restaurant which is a great improvement. Well worth a try for a satisfying and enjoyable meal.

I love Greek food, so was pleased to find a Greek restaurant in Oxford. This restaurant is pleasant, although not amazing. I had the gemista and my boyfriend had mousaka. The portions were quite small and not presented very prettily, although they tasted nice (again not amazing though; a little bland). The atmosphere is laid back and quite cheerful. I'm not sure what the staff are usually like because we went on a Sunday night, when they were training a new waiter, so we didn't get the best impression - they were friendly though!
